>> in the short term if the margin calls trigger asset sales globally <<

I think it is designed to cause the reverse and probably will. Shorts and longs both use margin. The question is: How well capitalized the marginal player is in each camp. It is just a guess on my part: but currently, we have had one heckuva a short covering rally and a short lull -- who is more likely to be "pressing bets?" My guess is shorts. Add this to ECB rate cut and ... well let's see what happens on Monday.

Short, and wishing I were just flat into this.
